There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 25
Zuixian Tower is one of the Lin family's many properties in Yingzhou.

It is also the No. [-] restaurant in Leshou County, with a large number of guests every day. It is run by Lin Chuan's father.

Su Xian and Lin Chuan were classmates and good friends. With this relationship, Su Xian had prostituted himself to Zuixianlou no less than twenty times.

Tonight, he will stay in a guest room in Zuixian Tower...

At midnight, Su Xian woke up stroking his forehead.

Last night, Lin Chuan couldn't resist drinking, so he drank the film directly.

When I woke up, my mouth was dry, my head was a little dizzy, and my bladder had turned into a ball.

I got up and lit the oil lamp, poured a cup of herbal tea to soothe my throat, pushed the door open, and walked towards the latrine by the dim light on the corridor.

The restaurant was quiet at midnight, and a bright moon hung high in the sky.

The cool night wind blew past, Su Xian gave a jolt and woke up a lot.

Zuixian Tower is very large, surrounded by corridors, with guest rooms in buildings and separate small courtyards to meet the needs of different residents.

Su Xian has been a prostitute for a long time and has a certain understanding of the layout of Zuixian Tower.

At least, it is not impossible to find the latrine.

"I'm sorry! Who locked the pit?"

Arriving in front of the maokeng gate, Su Xian was stunned.

After carefully staring at the locked copper lock and touching his swollen belly, he decided to go to another latrine.

The latrines of the restaurant are clustered together, so it is more appropriate to call it the "Mao Hang District". In addition to the "Mao Hang District" here, there is another one.

But the "maokeng area" over there is mainly used by residents in the small courtyard. Su Xian is not very familiar with the route. Fortunately, the restaurant has a waiter patrolling it at night, so he can ask for directions...

"Where have I been?"

Su Xian followed the waiter's instructions, endured his bulging bladder, and unknowingly walked into a small courtyard and looked around.

Walking around a rockery and a flower bed, he saw a house with light shining through.

It was a bit strange that the lights were still on in the middle of the night, but it also meant that there were already residents in the courtyard.

Su Xian turned around and left...

At this time, a man's low voice came from the house with lights on: "The best location is on the 'Jialou Street' in the southeast corner of the county!"

Jiaolou Street?
It sounds familiar.

Wait, Su Xian paused. Isn't the street where he lives exactly "Jiaolou Street"?

Su Xian didn't think much about it. It was very bad to break in for no reason and eavesdrop on other people's conversations. It would be better to get out as soon as possible.

"There are two specific locations. They are the home of 'Tofu Xi Shi' and the home of bookworm Su Xian. These two places are the safest!"

The man's deep voice came from the house again.

Su Xian stopped and his heart beat wildly.

He turned around slowly and looked at the half-open screen window that let in light.

It was clear just now that the person in the room said words such as "Tofu Xishi" and "Bookworm Su Xian".

"Why did this person mention me and Madam Liu?" Su Xian frowned, his sleepiness disappeared instantly, and he murmured in his heart: "Listening to this person's voice, I can be sure that I don't know him."

Weird!
Su Xian is extremely lacking in the sense of security. You must know that this is the ancient times when people are always robbed.

However, in a restaurant, in the dead of night, he heard someone say his name!

Under the cold moonlight, Su Xian stood silently in the small courtyard.

He felt as if he had been hit with a stick on the back of his head, and his whole body shuddered, feeling like a huge conspiracy enveloped him.

"No, I have to go and see who is in the room and what are they going to say?" After hesitating for a while, Su Xian made up his mind and slowly touched the room that radiated light.

"Oh?" On the way, a woman's voice came from the house. It was cold but very pleasant. She should be a young woman of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Su Xian held his breath, walked around the small flower bed on the steps in front of the house, and squatted lightly under the window.

Perhaps because of the sultry weather, the windows were only half closed to facilitate ventilation and cooling at night.

Su Xian took a deep breath, and when his mind stabilized, he slowly put his head to the corner of the window and peeked into the house.

I saw a branch-shaped lamp stand, "hanging" dozens of oil lamps, dotted with stars, and the room was bright.

There is a small round table in the middle of the room, and sitting on a round stool beside the table is a young girl who looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. She has a delicate and beautiful face. At first glance, she is stunning and eye-catching, but upon closer inspection, she is enduring, and she is actually a rare special color.

A few feet away in front of the girl, there was a man in black standing with his head bowed and staring at the ground. There were gauze tied on his left arm and right calf, and the white gauze showed traces of blood.

Apparently the man had just been injured.

Su Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he slowly retracted his head, opened his mouth wide, and took a deep breath while covering his heart with his hand.

"This man is wearing black clothes and has injuries on his arms and calves. The important thing is that he mentioned Mrs. Liu and me..." Su Xian was shocked and confused, secretly guessing the identity of this man: "Could he be a bandit? ?”

The group of bandits outside the city has been gathering in the mountains and forests for more than a year. In the memory of the original owner, there are many memories of bandits going down the mountain to rob passing merchants.

Su Xian thought about it carefully and found that there seemed to be no dark forces around Leshou County except for the bandits.

"Mrs. Liu and I didn't do anything? Why were we targeted by bandits?" Su Xian was worried, then suddenly startled, thinking: "Could it be that we were attracted by stinky tofu?"

"It's too much to think about. Let's see what they are going to say next." Su Xian endured his beating heartbeat and his bladder that was about to explode, and slowly poked his head to the corner of the window again.

The injured man in black was extremely respectful, kept his bowed posture, and lowered his voice and said: "Among them, the home of bookworm Su Xian is the safest!"

"Why?" The girl's voice was cold. Although her pink face was delicate and beautiful, it could not conceal a touch of aloofness and arrogance.

This is what Su Xian wants to know.

"It is rumored that no one has dared to visit the 'Tofu Xishi' Kefu for several years. Logically speaking, Tofu Xishi's home is the safest."

The man in black remained motionless, with a very low posture, and continued in a low voice: "However, that tofu Xishi has a healthy servant, which is quite troublesome. And in the home of the bookworm Su Xian, he is the only one!"

outside the window.

Su Xian gritted his teeth and cursed secretly: "Damn it, you are the nerd!"

The scolding continued, but Su Xian still couldn't understand. What on earth were they talking about?What is safe?
"understood."

The girl unconsciously kicked her calf, and the hem of her lake green lotus-embroidered skirt swayed slightly. She took a pot and poured tea, took a sip, and asked, "By the way, what's going on with the Plum Blossom Guards now? What did they find out?"

Plum blossom inner guard?

Outside the window, Su Xian frowned slightly.

He naturally knows what kind of organization the Plum Blossom Internal Guard is.

It is said that they were a secret guard trained by the empress of the Liang Dynasty. They had eyes all over the country and were comparable to the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty.

Su Xian secretly thought: "If they are the bandits outside the city, they should not dare to make enemies of the Meihua inner guards, let alone 'find something'! These two people should not be bandits."

"Princess Qi, I have some clues about the Meihua Internal Guard." The injured man in black kept his bowed and bowed posture unchanged, and his voice was low and cold.

Su Xian's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide when he heard this, thinking that he heard wrongly.

Princess?

In the palace?
Or in the box?
You must know that this is Yingzhou, very close to the border with Liao Kingdom.

What princess would come here?
Recently, Princess Lanling of the Dynasty went to Youzhou to take charge, but even before she arrived, the news spread a lot, especially among the local officials.

If this girl is really a princess, Leshou County should not be so quiet.

Even if Princess Lanling made an unannounced visit in plain clothes and came to Yingzhou in advance, there was no need to investigate the Meihua guards. How could the floods wash away the Dragon King Temple.

So, what is the identity of this girl?Why target Su Xian and Liu Huixiang?
